Vitamin D is an essential vitamin, mostly produced in the skin by sunlight (up to 90%) although it is also absorbed from food & supplements.
Its main role is regulating how the body absorbs calcium, phosphate and magnesium from the gut.
Correct levels of these minerals are vital for healthy bone growth.
By buying a laboratory test kit with professional nurse or clinic collection, you can accurately measure Vitamin D for total reassurance.
Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.
The Vitall Vitamins & Minerals Complete nurse or clinic test kit includes a Vitamin D test and is available for just £99.00.
Tests which include a Vitamin D test:
High vitamin D levels most commonly occur due to excessive supplementation rather than natural exposure.
When high vitamin D occurs alongside high calcium, it can be associated with damage to blood vessels, kidneys, and other organs.
Vitamin D supplementation is often discontinued when levels are high.
Low vitamin D is most commonly linked to limited sunlight exposure. It can also occur when vitamin D is poorly absorbed from food, including with some gastrointestinal diseases.
Related factors that are often considered alongside a low vitamin D result include parathyroid hormone levels, kidney function, use of certain medications, and whether someone has a higher fracture risk.
Understanding the cause of deficiency is important. NICE guidance describes treatment of vitamin D deficiency using fixed high doses of a vitamin D supplement for 6–10 weeks, followed by lifelong maintenance. More information is available here.
This result is commonly reviewed further to clarify the underlying cause and to guide an appropriate approach to treatment.
